Yes we don't have a spinner, also no bell or KO but we have a counter attacking wicket keeper and we still have Cook but his minds more weighed down by the captaincy now and he's got more work to do with the bat this time

Root actually made his debut last time they were in India, he saved the final test with a 50 off like 200 balls iirc.

This time around England are fucked since they have zero good spinners instead of two and KP isn't here this time to randomly win games on his own. I predict 6-0 India... 5-0 games plus an extra moral victory when the English drop most of their squad.

I will probably watch some of these games just for the comedy value of seeing Ballance try to play Ashwin on a turning wicket. If Ballance actually gets a game, I predict that he'll get out bowled leaving a carrom ball at least once.
